My friend and I had a great experience at Skon's place near the Saphan Kwai BTS station. The room itself was exactly what we were looking for. Comfortable beds, perfectly working AC, a great shower, a balcony and, best of all, it was impeccably clean and brand new. For those of you digital nomads such as I, the Wifi worked very well so you won't struggle too much sending emails or putting a few hours of work in. The neighborhood itself is quite nice; just walk to the main street and there are street food stalls (35 bhatt Pad Thai, etc.) everywhere. If you want a great cup of coffee, try Ansel & Elliott just across the street (hands down, best coffee I've had in SE Asia). If you want to go into Bangkok proper, just hop on the BTS, it's that easy. Overall, great location, very welcoming, helpful staff and the price is perfect. Would highly recommend to anyone not wanting to be in the thick of it, but still wanting to have access to everything Bangkok has to offer.
